Michigan football fans accuse HailGate founder John Klein of scamming them by selling Morgan Wallen concert tickets, VIP meet-and-greets, and memorabilia through his Facebook group but failing to deliver. Over 600 victims have joined a Facebook group, claiming they paid thousands for unfulfilled promises and received delayed or no refunds.

Fans who purchased Morgan Wallen concert tickets through Ann Arbor-based Hailgate, run by John Klein, report not receiving tickets despite paying in October. Klein claims refunds are available but some buyers remain unpaid, while Wallen's lawyers issued a cease-and-desist letter over unauthorized ticket sales. Some buyers received tickets as promised, while others lost hundreds to thousands of dollars.
